My teenage daughter and I spent the night here before a college tour of Flagler. Very welcoming staff and immediately felt like home. Wonderful breakfast and afternoon wine and light snack provided. Will certainly be back.

Great People and Great Location
Pros:Location and Staff
Cons:Nothing
Location:Flagler College, St. George Street, Whetstone Chocolate Factory, the Fort, Anastasia Island, and much more are all within a great proximity of this B&
My wife and I stayed in the Attic for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. Breakfast is excellent (and included) here and the staff was a pleasure to chat with. They are warm and engaging. Also, you are only a 2 minute walk from all of the action in St. Augustine. Flagler College, St. George Street, Whetstone Chocolate Factory, the Fort, Anastasia Island, and much more are all within a great proximity of this B&B. Next time we are back, we'll stay here again!

Awesome B&B
Pros:Beatiful interior and room, and the staff made us feel at home
Location:Flagler college is close by and has an very interesting tour. The historic district is a 5 min walk away.
The Penny Farthing is an excellent place to stay in St Augustine. The breakfast is awesome and you are a few minutes away from the major sights in the historic district.

Quaint and convenient
Pros:The location, the outdoor spaces and the parking and as I said the staff ws very nice.
Cons:The cleanliness, clutter and basic maintenance.
Location:Saint Augustine and its multitude activities, history and architechture. Great place to visit.
Okay, I'm very hesitant to put in a negative review for this inn because the people who ran it were very nice. The regular people that ran it were out of the country while we we there but the replacement staff were very nice. And the availability of parking was great, very convenient. However, the room we were in, The Cambridge, was so overcrowded with unnecessary furniture and pillows and knick-knacks that it made it very inconvenient to move into especially for a short stay. There was a glass lamp in the corner of the room that was so covered in dust it was obviousthat it had not been cleaned in a long time. The bed and linens were very comfortable, but, the light from the neighbor shined right into our room that had shear window coverings so it was like daylight in our room at midnight. My husband climbed on top of the non functioning gas fireplace to cover the window with a blanket at midnight. When I posed the problem to the innkeeper the only response I got was that they "had never heard that complaint before". The problem was not resolved so the blanket remained. Many of the furnishings and decor were damaged, not 'shabby chic' damaged but we don't really care damaged. Like broken glass in the picture frames, the sink was cracked, general maintenance stuff.
